Abstract: Zhu, C, He, G, Yin, Q, et al. Molecular biology of the SARs-CoV-2 spike protein: A review of current knowledge. J Med Virol. 2021;93: 5729–5741. https://doi.org/10.1002/jmv.27132 In the above referenced article, a data error occurred due to the authors' negligence. Corrections are provided below. On page 5734, lines 3–6, the data in parentheses is incorrect, the data in bold are the corrected ones: The S2 subunit of SARS-CoV-2, which plays a key role in virus-cell fusion and viral entry,27 contains a fusion peptide (FP) (residues 788–806), a cleavage S2' site (residues 815/816), two heptad-repeat domains (HR1/HR2) (residues 912–984/1163–1212), a transmembrane domain (TD) (residues 1213–1236) and a cytoplasm domain (CD) (residues 1237–1273)21 (Figure 2B). On page 5734, line 15, “amid in Lys790, Thr791, Lys795, Asp808, and Gln872 residues” should be corrected to read “amid in Lys790, Thr791 and Lys795 residues.” The authors regret these errors.
